HMRI is a New South Wales-based research organization located in New Lambton that aims to translate research ideas into healthier outcomes for the community. It collaborates with the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Local Health District, and local communities to identify health priorities that reflect real-world needs and to scale successful approaches beyond the region. Its workforce includes about 1,500 researchers and staff, and its research scope spans fertility, nutrition, exercise, mental health, cancer, dementia, and more. It supports the translation of discoveries into practical health improvements through access to specialized labs, equipment, and clinical trials. Recent developments include a major imaging upgrade with the installation of a Siemens Healthineers MAGNETOM Cima.X Fit MRI scanner at the HMRI Imaging Centre in early 2026, enhancing regional imaging capacity. In the same period, HMRI partnered with Newcastle Permanent to deliver a six-week program that helps early- and mid-career researchers turn promising ideas into life-saving solutions.
